Paddon's hood scoop would go well with the Monster Energy green??
    have been thinking the same, MotoGP seems very much a red bull Vs monster series, they sponsor the riders in a bigger way.

    His current contract ends now, 2018. Maybe it has on option for 2019, can´t remember was it originally 2+1 or 1+1 with Toyota.
    Latvala can´t say anything, team(s) will announce deal(s).

    Alain Penasse already said in the Rally Forum that they are doing a split third car.

    Penasse also said that Huttunen has tried WRC, so could be him learning on some outings...Sordo doesn`t like Finland much, Huttunen on the other hand was born there etc.

    Is that actually what he said? Or just that Sordo happy for half season?
    Never do anything you wouldn't want to explain to a paramedic.

    Right, he says that the third car this year has been more beneficial in points compared to Mikkelsen and they convinced Dani to do a half season, but he also says the third car is still open and they are "reluctant" to have a shared car - it seems he's contradicting himself on the latter...maybe broken English or I hear wrong?

    No, thats exactly what he said. It sounded like they will share the 3rd car.

    "Exactly" or "sounded like"? Seems you're just as confused as AnttiL.

    Most likely to be the case. Still water to go under the bridge here yet.

    'Exactly' means thats what he said.

    'Sounded like' is my interpretation of the meaning.
